tyre pressure

Hello all

Whats the correct tyre pressure for the 205/40/17 tyre on a 325i convertable.

Many thanks

the general advice is to increase pressure by 1lb for every wheel size increase, with 13s at 28 (rear) and 29 (front) so your 17s would be 32 (rear) and 33 (front).

i run my 16s at 32 all round and they seem to wear evenly enough, but i do carry around a bit more weight in my boot than most.

ive found 36 in the rear of my set of 17's very good for grip. i prefer a little less in the front though as i like to feel the road. without it being too harsh i run 33 in the front. if you are serious about set up dont rely on petrol station pumps to get the pressure right they are so inaccurate.. they are ok for making sure your pressures match and thats about it.
